Re: CORRECTION [Was: Transition Request: PER Request for XML Base Second Edition]

(I'm following up a very old message here, and I've deleted most of
the cc: list.)

We're planning a new XML Base PER and I'm trying to get the patent
statement right.  Here's what you (Ian) said a year ago:

Here's the text I'm planning to use.  Note that the links for
"essential claims" and "disclosure" point into the 2002 document; I
assume that's right.  (Disclosure is section 3 in the 2002 document,
not 6.)

This document is governed by the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-patent-practice-20020124">24 January 2002 CPP</a>
as amended by the W3C Patent Policy Transition Procedure.
W3C maintains a
<loc rel="disclosure" href="http://www.w3.org/2002/08/xmlcore-IPR-statements">public
list of any patent disclosures</loc>
made in connection with the deliverables of
the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent.
An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual
believes contains
<loc href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-patent-practice-20020124#def-Essential-Claims">
Essential Claim(s)</loc>
must disclose the information in accordance with
<loc href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-patent-practice-20020124#sec-Disclosure">
section 3 of the W3C Patent Policy</loc>.
